Roshei Yeshiva: the more they afflict them the more they multiplied

The decision tonight (Wednesday) to use criminal sanctions against Yeshiva students brings strong reactions from Roshei Yeshivas and leaders of the Torah world.

One of the Roshei Yeshiva in Jerusalem says to Behadrey Haredim that this is like Pharaoh's decrees: "They want to enslave the yeshiva world and threaten us go to jail, it is unbelievable that we went through exile only to immigrate to Israel and become criminals for Torah study by the Jewish government."

"We are not afraid; we will fight with the sword and spear. They want to take us to jail? Furthermore, the Torah world existed before the state of Israel and will remain after it."

An additional Rosh Yeshiva who spoke this evening talking with his disciples after the decision was made, said: "Israel has ceased to be Jewish, that is a bill of divorce. Such a decision does not go out of the Jewish people. "

He also said that he did not believe anyone would dare put a Torah learner in prison: "I cannot imagine that Israel would take a yeshiva student and arrest him just because he did not appear to be a soldier in the army, where is such a thing heard of?"

Rabbi ended off and said, "When afflicted the more they multiplied and grew, the Torah world will only become stronger as a result, unity and devotion to Torah will grow and all the advice of the Torah haters will fail. Sword will come to their hearts."
